Responses are being collated by an online survey, schools, trusts, parents/carers and any interested parties may all contribute to the Admission Consultation. If you wish to contribute you are invited to go to https://www.york.gov.uk/SchoolAdmissions2026To2027 and complete the appropriate survey online.

Please be aware that if there are no proposed changes an admission authority may not be holding a consultation.

Following the consultations, each admission authority will formally set (‘determine’) their admission arrangements for admission in 2026 – 2027 by 28 February 2025.  Determined policies will be on the City of York Council website by 15 March 2025 after which objections can be raised.
